It would be wrong to ignore the ladies who love the Bryant Brothers. They matter too, and where Mason and Jack shared Colleen (Sounds sordid! You’ll have to read the “Beachy Keen” to find out if it’s so.), this series will be quicker than the male counterpart.

Who are the Bryant Brothers? Finally, we find Gabe, the Bryant Brother, who was proximally close but chose to remain distant. Why the chip on the middle child’s shoulder?

We continue the Who are the Bryant Brothers series with Dan. In Mason, we explored the childhood influence of my brother, Eddie, and in Jack, the adult.

We opened the Who are the Bryant Brothers in the series with Mason, the deceased troubled Bryant who glues the brothers together.
As with the other male Bryants, the inspiration was my brother, Eddie. Everything from his tendency towards mischief-making, aspects of his personality, and experiences with friends to the made-up tales he told.
